This
does
not
rule
out,
how-
McEl-ever,
a
visit
of
President
Roosevelt
to
Paris.
In
fact,
it
is
fully
expected
that
he
will
accept
the
invitation
which
De
Gaulle
has
extended
for
a
meeting
in
Paris,
where
it
is
believed
Churchill
would
come
at
the
same
time.
But
the
Paris
meeting
would
probably
follow
the
meeting
of
the
big
three
in
eastern
Europe.
Both
President
Roosevelt
and
Prime
Minister
Churchill,
it
is
pointed
out
would
seek
to
avoid
the
impression
that,British
and
American
plans
are
being
laid
in
advance
of
a
conference
with
Stalin.
When
the
three
leaders
meet,
the
principal
item
on

will
be
the

Further
evidence
of
the
heavy
early
voting
was
seen
in
the
business
district
where
the
streets
were
nearly
deserted
until
mid-morning.

were
closed,
although
the
treasurer's
office
remained
open
to
check
records
following

deadline

and
the
auditor
took
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
catch
up
with

office,
a
steady
stream
of
voters
came
to
inspect

and
untangle
difficulties
that
arose
over
places
of
residence
and
the
time

of

The
farm
vote
was
expected
to
be
heavy
as
well
as

but
only
meagre
reports
were
available
concerning'
the
intensity
of
